I recently purchased a 6300+ system with a 360K drive. The drive works
well in all respects save one. I format a disk it after which the system
says 'Format complete' followed by 'Non-DOS disk. Abort Ignore Retry?'.
At work we have a 6300+ with a 1.2M drive with the same problem.
I'll take my system back since it's still under warranty, but with my
small sample of 4 systems with 2 faulty floppy drives, I'd like to know if
this is normal and if anyone knows what the problem is (so we can fix the
non-warranteed unit at work).
Incidentally, the diagnostics work say the floppy drive is just fine.
I can format a disk from the diagnostic disk (although when I try to copy
anything onto the newly formatted disk, I still get the 'Non-DOS disk' message).
